Welcome to S3 episode 9! Sometimes it is hard to "see" the side effects of IBD. Sometimes you might feel like something is in your mind. We dive deeper into cognitive changes not often discussed and shed light on changes to bring up with your own doctors. Cognitive challenges are difficult and it is important to continue to research them so there is a better understanding of how they are affected by IBD. We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

Welcome to S3 episode 2! In light of Disney and the changes they have made to not accommodate IBD disabilities, we were excited to find somewhere for our listeners that does. The National Parks are proud to support permanent disabilities and we were so excited to find out they offer a lifetime access pass. They do require documentation which we fully support, but they make the process smooth and simple! We hope that those of you with Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis who haven't been able to visit a NP are able to! We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved!
